THE day has come ~ to make the trip.....
to meet two precious boys ~ new sons!
Courtney, Pat, Rebekah, Joshua, Bailey and Hannah
are in the air.....flying to Rwanda!
Arriving at Dulles Airport
Giving a wave as they head in ~
Checking in
papers in order
the 5 Cassadas
Happy Courtney (relief that the planning was DONE and the action is taking place!)
It could be too.....she had said goodbye to Sawyer just an hour before.....
the dreaded goodbye. It went SO well!
Sawyer seemed to GET this morning that they were simply going to Africa
to pick up the boys. He said "oh, ok!"
He happily went off with Pat's folks!
What an answer to prayer.
Our Bible Study met last night ~ our specific request was that this parting would go ok.
WOW....did God answer that! Thank you God and wonderful prayer warriors.
sweet Rebekah
cheerful Joshua
pondering Bailey
(who sweetly said to me as we were saying goodbye
"I wish you were coming with us". Precious.)
their plane
A joyful ~ yet tearful goodbye.
Hannah and John saying goodbye ~
they will be missing each other greatly.
The Rwandan Crew ~
praying for you all as you travel and settle in to AFRICA!
Can't wait to hear and "see thru pictures" your very first meeting with your
precious new sons!
We love you!

I can think of nothing else. I hope you two are doing well. They might be meeting their boys right now!
Thanks for the added photos! So glad Sawyer said a cheerful goodbye. I'll check here for updates on him in about 11 days! This is all SO EXCITING! To think they could be holding those precious boys right now! RIGHT NOW!
i LOVED seeing all the pictures of getting them onto that plane! What an exciting few days as this next leg of the journey begins! Praying for you as well - that you have a RESTFUL week gearing up for YOUR sweet time with Sawyer!!! :)
Dorian - I just keep watching the video over and over of them meeting the boys...and everytime I just cry and cry. Frankly I can't believe Courtney & Pat held themselves together! I've been a mess just watching the pictures on the video! SO so excited about what God has in store on this next leg of the journey! He has been SO faithful and will continue to be!!! :)
Dorian-
